Hidden Modernism
From auratic presences to mediumistic drawings―an account of the occult's role in the art of Vienna's Lebensreform movementAround 1900, a nature-oriented way of life, spiritism and theosophy inspired artists from Arnold Schoenberg to Egon Schiele. Hidden Modernism is the first to explore the occult aspects of the "Lebensreform" movement in Vienna.In the late 19th century, criticism of industrialized society's materialism reached Vienna. Spiritism and theosophy inspired many who were looking for a "better self." Painters such as Albert von Keller and Gabriel von Max documented their trance states, Gertrude Honzatko-Mediz created mediumistic drawings, the writer August Strindberg painted dark landscape visions, artists such as Richard Gerstl, Arnold Schoenberg, Egon Schiele, Oskar Kokoschka and Max Oppenheimer saw their models as auratic presences.Through intensively researched scholarly texts and abundant artwork images and archival photographs, this volume examines the search for the "New Human" in Vienna without ignoring the darker aspects of magical thinking...

Egon Schiele. Last Years 1914-1918
Little-known late works from a painter whose art came to epitomize Viennese modernismPublished with Leopold Museum, Vienna.Austrian artist Egon Schiele is known above all through his expressionist paintings and drawings, primarily made between 1910 and 1913/14, in which he expressed the inner turmoil of an entire generation in his depictions of the human figure. His later works following 1914, which differ markedly from his earlier ones, are less well known.This volume chronicles the final four years of output from Egon Schiele, highlighting these later, less well-known works, in which he processed private and historical events from 1914 onward, in a style differing distinctly from his earlier works. His lines became more measured, flowing and organic, and his figures filled out and more realistic. Personal and historical events from the year 1914―the outbreak of war, his marriage to Edith Harms and the tedium of army life―clearly had a profound effect on his artistic output, leading to a significant shift in his style. Among other things, his wife Edith Schiele's rarely seen and little-known diary (1915–18), in which she recorded her experiences, thoughts and feelings during these difficult times, is published in full in this catalog.Austrian artist Egon Schiele (1890–1918) developed an anti-academic style of rendering figures, which are only rarely shown head-on or in full length, appearing contorted by their compositional arrangement. After brief service in the army during World War I, Schiele died of influenza on October 31, 1918...

Brassaï - Paris by Night
This essential reference in the history of urban photography—compiled by Brassaï himself and first published in 1933—has been meticulously reproduced in a new edition, with tinted page edges.The city of Paris bewitched Hungarian-born Brassaï. Working as a journalist by day in the early 1930s, he roamed the streets of the capital by night, visiting its bistros and sharing moments in the lives of avant-garde artists, prostitutes, peddlers, down-and-outs, and illicit lovers. He captured portraits of a hauntingly dramatic nocturnal world.With these sixty-two poetic photographs, which demonstrate his technical mastery in depicting darkness, he quickly established himself as one of the most original photographers of his generation.
